Nearer dead than alive, a dozen men of the Long Range Desert Group struggled on across the burning sands of the Western Desert. A Nazi plane had shot their trucks from under them.
And then they heard the terrifying whine of the diving aircraft again, and the hammering of its machine guns made them seek desperately for cover. But there was none. Young Lieutenant Pete Strong saw every one of his men - all his closest buddies - mowed down before his eyes.
At that moment Pete made a vow that for every drop of British blood that was spilled the Nazis would pay tenfold.
This is Pete's story…
Introduction
Classic, classic Commando. An action-filled story, crammed full of bullets, bombs and burning vehicles brought to life by one of the best comic artists ever - Victor De La Fuente. Victor's line influenced a whole raft of comics illustrators - very much for the better - enabling them to bring dynamic movement to the most static of images. His drawings give the Clegg script, with its thinly disguised military message, a vivid quality inside a scene-setting cover from fellow Spaniard Chaco.
A bit late for Christmas but it's still a cracker!
